I am new to Shadowrun and my local group is going to start playing the game soon using SR 4e. I determined my niche in the group would be that I would make a character that took care of our need for a breaking and entering specialist (covert-ops), but I also wanted to play a character that would be a martial arts melee MASTER and that could shoot some when needed. My first attempt at this character contains a mistake that I will be fixing soon. I took a few specialties and skills that were part of a couple skill groups I had taken. I know now that this is forbidden by the game rules and can only be done when you are actually playing the game, earning karma. I will rectify this in the near future. I also was going to make this guy an adept as well at first but thought I wouldn't be able to afford the points to do so. So I would be open to another version of this character that was an adept build as well. I would be honored if anyone could help me either make this character much better to better achieve the goals have stated previously in being a melee monster covert-ops specialist or someone that would be willing to rebuild this character all-together with those concepts in mind. I am enlisting your expertise and would appreciate any feedback to help me out. Thanks in advance!
